At 19, doctors told me pregnancy could literally kill me, but they still refused to tie my tubes because “you might change your mind” and want kids.
At 22, I needed regular blood transfusions, but they still refused a hysterectomy because I might “meet a man who wants children.”
This is what misogyny in medicine looks like.
I work part-time in a pre-k and if some fuckass guys came to our doors saying, "we're not associated with anyone, show us children," we would absolutely go into lockdown and probably assume they were there to shoot us up. how are you this weird and insane and stupid.
“My daughter says the same thing! I tell her she doesn’t know what she’s talking about! That she’ll change her mind eventually”
“Hahaha.. yea okay!” 👍🏼🙃🙃🙃
Someone said “oh don’t have kids they’re a headache!” To which I replied “oh I wouldn’t. I don’t ever want to have kids” but apparently that was the wrong answer all of a sudden 🙃
“How could you not want kids!? Yea they’re a lot but it’s worth it! I have 3”
“yea I know kids are great! I lovvveee kids but I don’t want them!”
“Well what are you going to do when you’re about to get married and your husband wants kids!?”
“Uhhh not marry that man!?!?”
